Non invasive prenatal paternity testing can be done by collecting a blood sample from the mother. Fetal DNA makes its way into the maternal blood stream through the placental wall which envelopes the unborn baby. A particular vein has been found to be particularly rich in fetal DNA. This procedure carries huge advantages over prenatal testing procedures such as amniocentesis or CVS. The non invasive prenatal test is totally risk free.

Can you have a paternity test while pregnant?

A DNA paternity test can be performed accurately before a child is born through amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. These methods are explained below. With either method, you will also need DNA samples from the person(s) you think are the father (involving a swab from the mouth).Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS):Chorionic Villus Sampling is usually performed at very early stages of pregnancy, generally around the 8th to 13th week of pregnancy. During the CVS procedure, a catheter is inserted through the cervix and a small sample is taken from the outside of the gestational sack by gentle suction. This sampling procedure allows the obstetrician to obtain a small amount of fetal chorionic villi (trophoblastic tissue) which is used for the paternity test. Paternity tests conducted using CVS samples are just as accurate as tests which are performed after the child is born.Amniocentesis:Amniocentesis is generally performed at later stages of pregnancy. During an amniocentesis procedure, a small amount of amniotic fluid (10ml) is withdrawn transabdominally by your obstetrician. Amniotic fluid is also an excellent sample for paternity testing; paternity tests which are performed using amniotic fluid are just as accurate as tests conducted after the child is born.Non Invasive Paternity Testing:While amniocentesis and CVS carries certain risks, such as leakage of amniotic fluid which can endanger the baby's life, there is a risk free method for conducting a paternity test. Fetal DNA finds its way into the maternal blood stream through the wall of the placenta. The medical blood draw entailed in a non invasive test is essentially risk free.You may also have blood cord samples taken when a child is born and this procedure is also totally safe.

Is this New Non-Invasive Pre-Natal Paternity Test cost effective and can it be validated in a court?

This is an expensive test and can cut a big hole in your pocket. Costing about $1000 - more if you have multiple paternal samples to be compared - and results can usually be obtained within just a couple of weeks. Though considered safe many laboratories doubt its accuracy and currently, this test is not endorsed by AABB-accredited laboratories and because the father's sample is not validated, the test would likely not be admissible in a paternity suit.


Is there a paternity test developed when in the early stages of pregnancy and if yes then what is the procedure involved?

Yes, there is a new non-invasive Pre-Natal paternity test which is performed as early as 13 weeks into the pregnancy. This new fetal cell DNA test uses the mother's blood to isolate the DNA of the fetus and then compares it to the alleged father's DNA collected from a buccal swab, hair sample or even forensic samples such as a toothbrush, water bottle or chewing gum - no blood sample is required for the would-be Dad.

How do you determine the paternity of a child?

Well the mother never needs to establish maternity as she knows that's her child, but the father would have to establish paternity by taking a DNA test. The most accurate test are done by swabbing both mother and father's inside cheek with a cotton swab along with the child to match the DNA. Now if the mother is non willing to test, paternity can still be established by just the father and child testing alone.
